A number of local political races resulted in historic wins...and the breaking of what are often known as glass ceilings. Penfield elected its first Democratic town supervisor, Kevin Berry, in four decades. Berry is also the first LGBTQ+ supervisor for the town. In Perinton, Jenn Townsend will become the first Democrat to lead the town since 1918 — and she's the first woman to hold the position. In Greece, Amorette Miller is the first woman of color to serve on the town board, and the first Democrat in her ward. All three winners join us to discuss the significance of their victories and what they mean for their communities.

Japan's Sanae Takaichi has become the country's first female prime minister, vowing to strengthen the nation's economy and defense capabilities and enhance relations with the US. Takaichi faces challenges including quelling discontent over the cost of living, dealing with a looming visit by US President Donald Trump, and reviving the fortunes of a ruling party that has lost its dominance. Takaichi has formed a cabinet and plans to deliver results, including implementing a trade deal with the US and alleviating the impact of inflation, and will meet with President Trump at an early date to elevate Japan-US relations. We get perspective from Rintaro Nishimura, Senior Associate in The Asia Group's Japan Practice. He spoke to Bloomberg's Avril Hong and Annabelle Droulers. Plus - Sanae Takaichi has just been confirmed as Japan's first female prime minister. But more important than her gender might be her taste for head-banging — in music and politics. That is according to Bloomberg Opinion Columnist Gearoid Reidy. He spoke about his piece to Bloomberg's Avril Hong and Annabelle Droulers.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
What if the biggest barrier to gender equality isn't who does the dishes, but who has to remember the dishes need doing?In this episode of Glass Ceilings and Sticky Floors, host Erica Rooney sits down with Allison Daminger, a groundbreaking sociologist and author of What's On Her Mind: The Mental Workload of Family Life. Allison's viral research shines a light on the mental load—the planning, anticipating, and managing of all the things—that disproportionately falls on women.Join them as they dissect why even in "woke" partnerships with hands-on dads, women's brains never get to turn off. Allison reveals the societal structures and deep-seated norms that keep this imbalance sticky and, crucially, how we can start an honest, constructive conversation to create a more equitable home life.Inside the Episode:Defining the Invisible Labor: The difference between the physical execution of a chore and the taxing mental work of planning and anticipating that precedes it.The "Nothing" Response: Erica shares a powerful personal anecdote of asking her husband what he was thinking about, only to receive the one-word answer that perfectly summed up the mental load gap.The Next Frontier of Equality: Why sharing the mental load is the final, sticky frontier in achieving true gender parity, even as men do more physical labor than previous generations.The Policy Problem: Erica and Allison connect the mental load directly to the lack of paid parental leave in the US, arguing that early exposure to a child's needs is key to long-term equity.Superhumans vs. Bumblers: Allison's favorite part of her research, revealing why women are overwhelmingly perceived as the "superhumans" (naturally organized) and men as the "bumblers" (go-with-the-flow)—and why this is a harmful myth.The Truth About Changing Roles: Insights into how the mental load impacts women's career progression, and why couples with higher-earning women still often see the woman carrying the mental burden.The Unjudged Reality: A liberating conclusion: it's okay if changing the load is too much work, as long as you're clear-eyed and okay with the current arrangement.If you've ever felt deeply frustrated by having to manage all the things for your family, this episode will make you feel seen, validated, and equipped to start the conversation you need to have.

In this episode, I had the pleasure of speaking with Karen O'Donnell, BSN, RN, CEN, TCRN where we discussed how limiting beliefs, stressors of traditional nursing roles and always being told "NO" gave fuel to a desire to step into entrepreneurship as a means to gain freedom to create the nursing career that allows for the creativity and flexibility that Karen truly wanted and deserved! ✨We both agreed that the glass ceiling is very low in traditional institutional nursing roles, so instead of just accepting the status quo - Karen put systems into place and she eventually broke through that glass ceiling and is now helping other nurses reclaim their autonomy to raise the ceiling to new heights through entrepreneurship and emotional freedom techniques (EFT)!

This episode is your straight-up crash course on perimenopause... what it is, how to know you're in it, and what to do when your body starts rewriting the rules without your permission. I'm joined by Dr. Amy Killen, who doesn't sugarcoat a thing. Together, we unpack the early signs of hormonal shifts, the symptoms most doctors dismiss, and why perimenopause deserves real medical attention, not another vague suggestion to “just get more sleep.” We get into the real reasons behind the mood swings, sleep disruption, joint pain, and motivation crashes. We cover which labs are worth running, how to interpret them, and why testosterone and progesterone matter long before menopause officially shows up. We also talk through the decision-making process around hormone therapy, when to start, how to cycle it, and what the latest research actually says about safety, cancer risk, and long-term benefits. If you've been told to wait until menopause to care about your hormones, this is your correction. No confusion, no guesswork, no being dismissed. Just the facts, the options, and the tools to make informed decisions that actually support your health. This is the conversation you should've had years ago. Let's get you caught up.
